Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
I’ve sung the Wild Rover for manys a year
There’s some folk would boo and there’s others would cheer
I sang it so often it gave me a pain
So I’m no gonna sing the Wild Rover again
Chorus:
And it’s no, nay, never No, nay, never no more
Will I sing the Wild Rover No, nay, never no more
Well I know it’s a good song for pleasing the folk
But I have to admit that it gives me the boke
A night with a tooth ache is more fun to me
Then to sing even one verse for less two or three
Chorus
I sang it that often from midnight to dawn
There’s many the time I could see the folk yawn
Cause the words are a scunner there right down the drain
And the tune could be learned by a three year old Wain
Chorus
Well I went to a party it soon became plain
I was gonna be lumbered with that song again
Well I sang forty verse they shouted for more
So I grab my guitar and I went for the door
Chorus
Chorus
